    The channels may not be exciting, but in a child’s eyes, they will be quite entrancing.

Watch TV together, go to the beach for fishing, go to the forest to partake in a band or try some fruit, and so forth.

    Aimed for kids, this classic gamecube game will keep children entertained and happy with a game made of repeated TV shows and minigames. If you're looking to get your kid a game that will keep them entertained for a while, I'd definitely recommend this.

    If you're a teenager, I wouldn't recommend this unless you're a HUGE pokemon junkie, or just something to relax to.
